USA Triathlete Grady Funk’s story
Prior to seeing Stella at W8less Nutrition, I was consuming a lot of processed grains, cereals, soy, and frozen dinners. I was strictly concerned about my caloric intake rather than the actual makeup of the food I was consuming. I had a lot of indigestion and my energy levels would go up and down all day. I was not aware of the importance of getting my nutrients from its raw source and how it attributes to digestion, recovery, and my overall energy level.
Since I have changed my diet and gotten away from processed foods, I have noticed a steady energy level throughout the day and my recovery rate is far beyond what it used to be. With 30 hours of training a week and 40 hours of work, it is vital I put the correct foods in my “engine” that allow me to complete my workouts with focus, and also allow it to recover for the next day.
My Method
The Method: Individual. Specific. Nutrition
The Individual: Everyone is unique. What makes us even more distinct, is our day-to-day living. Clinically, you must consider the lifestyle of the individual, before you prescribe the ultimate dietary prescription.
Specific: Fad-diet companies have tried to incorporate the ‘personalized dietary approach’ in selling their programs. There is no possible way you can create a diet that is specific to the Individual–unless you’re using diagnostic measures–such as:Respiration to figure out resting expenditure, blood testing to understand underlying micronutrient deficiencies (e.g., Vitamin D), stool testing for yeast imbalance and gut-transit issues, and salivary tests for hormones and their metabolic influences (e.g., cortisol and digestion).
Nutrition: The famous quote–“One man’s food is another’s poison”–is truly why I study and research nutrient interactions within our bodies. Nutrition is the foundation to optimal health.
